Historical and Cultural Heritage of the Tchaikovsky and von Meck Dynasties

On September 17th at 19:00 CET, the Russian House in Brussels and the Institute of Heritage invite you to an online meeting with Denis Andreevich von Meck, a representative of the Tchaikovsky and von Meck dynasties.

The welcome address will be delivered by Vera Georgievna Bunina, Head of the Russian Science and Culture Center in Brussels, and Darya Yakovlevna Romanova, Head of the Family and Ancestral Heritage Center at the Institute of Heritage, author and curator of the project “Living Memory Heritage.”

Denis Andreevich von Meck’s speech will be dedicated to the historical and cultural heritage of the Tchaikovsky and von Meck dynasties. In addition to the world-renowned musical heritage, the interrelated Tchaikovsky-Davydov-von Meck families have left a significant and beneficial mark in areas such as painting, patronage, education, enlightenment, social care, road construction, schools, cities, military affairs, automobilism, charity, and most importantly, the example of families built on love. This has resulted in several generations of truly worthy sons and daughters of Russia, who created, managed, and actively participated in more than a hundred charitable and educational organizations in both peacetime and wartime.
